How can I make a list of members in a Discord server using discord.py?

Question

I am trying to generate a list of all of the members in a discord server using discord.py. Here is my code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands


class Events(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    def get_member_names(self):
        for guild in self.client.guilds:
            for member in guild.members:
                yield member.name

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching,
                                                                    name="the Chat."))
        print('Bot has logged in as {0.user.name}'.format(self.client))

        people = set(self.get_member_names())
        print(people)

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Events(client))

The problem is that I get only the Name of the Bot in the server but not any of the users, how to fix that?

There appears to be no error in the code. Are you sure that your bot is in a guild? — Nurqm
im pretty sure the get_members_name function has to be async def and not just def — Remi_Zacharias
get_member_names doesn't use await or async for so making it async def is not required — unex

A common reason for only seeing your bot in the members list is you haven't enabled privileged intents for your bot. Please see this page on enabling this for your bot.
